Thursday: "It Might Get Loud" @ Browning Cinema, 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
This revolutionary documentary details the progression of the electric guitar as a fixture of rock music through the personal accounts of three rock legends: The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White. The film revolves around a meeting between the three great guitarists in which they share their life stories, techniques and sources of inspiration. The film is especially interesting in that it looks at each performer in terms of the way he rebelled against the established styles of his time, invented new sounds and made an influence on the world of music. Tickets are $6 for the general public, $5 for faculty and staff, $4 for seniors and $3 for students.

Tickets are $8 for the general public, $6 for faculty and staff, $5 for seniors and $3 for students. They can be purchased through the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center Box Office and are hot-sellers.

Tickets are $25 for the general public, $12.50 for faculty and staff, $23 for seniors and $5 for all students.
